I am not being rude, but the whole concept of being data storage agnostic and building the application layers above that is very 1990's textbook. What has been very apparent in the last ten years is that for many many applications the data storage technology is an integral part of the offering. (not to say we do not build business logic and data access layers) I have worked at places that offer their solution on mysql, mssql, oracle, but eventually they had to concentrate on one - it may well work on all, but it certainly was not efficient. They may all have the same concepts in terms of sql but they work in very different ways and in order to produce an architecture that is highly innovative and efficient you have to include the capabilities of the data storage into major consideration. I think if you are an end user site then the ability to choose a new DB store based on price/performance and irrelevant to the application is still a concern but for isv's developing innovative and efficient solutions we have very much moved on from that viewpoint.
